15-Fokker-T4w painted by seri stone
(Some 30 Fokker T.IV floatplanes were used by the Marine-Luchtvaartdienst; the naval aviation branch of the Royal Netherlands Navy to defend the Dutch East Indies. These lumbering beasts with thier two open-air cockpits could carry a single torpedo or upto 1,700lbs of bombs. Built in the late 1920s, they were all based at Soerabaja. The only succesful use of these planes in combat was ironically in bombing the De Zeven Provinciën) Painting by Segie Stone
